data. Upon receipt, the Access Point will respond
with a CTS message to all station within its range to
notify all other stations to defer transmission. It will
also confirm the requestor station that the Access
Point has reserved it for the time-frame of the
requested transmission.
If the "Hidden Node" problem is an issue, please
specify the packet size. The RTS mechanism will be
activated if the data size exceeds the value you set..
The default value is 2347.
Warning: Enabling RTS Threshold will cause
redundant network overhead that could negatively
affect the throughput performance instead of
providing a remedy.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347.
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
modifications of this value are recommended.
Beacon Interval is the amount of time between
beacon transmissions. Before a station enters power
save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to
know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and
learn whether there are buffered frames at the
access point).
By default, the unit adaptively selects the highest
possible rate for transmission. Select the basic rates
to be used among the following options: Auto, 1, 2,
5.5, 11or 54 Mbps. For most networks the default
setting is Auto which is the best choice. When Auto
is enabled the transmission rate will select the
optimal rate. If obstacles or interference are present,
the system will automatically fall back to a lower rate.
A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment
to synchronize the transmitting timing including
Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. In a
"noisy" network environment, the Preamble Type
should be set to Long Preamble. The Short
Preamble is intended for applications where
minimum overhead and maximum performance is
desired. If in a "noisy" network environment, the
performance will be decreased.
Select enabled to allow all the wireless stations to
detect the SSID of this Access Point.
